a space for quirky odd things

Today I fought all morning with a brand new and VERY crappy small dye sub Canon printer that I brought with me. My intention was to print the digital pix I take afterward and give them as a gift to my photo subjects. The printer is totally useless.

I will haul it back and get my $$$ back. Always something.

Tonight my cousin and I are going to a photo opening at the Ojo Ajeno en Lima, a fine photo institute.
